RIGHT NOW (IS WHERE YOU ARE)

It's better not to look back. 
You'll just end up being haunted by all of it.
Tomorrow is always out of reach.
It is invisible.
Today is all you have.
This very moment.
Don't blink, or the moment will leave you behind.
The moment is ever fleeting.
Hold onto every moment, cherish it.
Make right now count.
You won't have a second chance.
Right now will soon pass away, 
  into the nothingness of yesterday.
Focus and a strong attitude is needed.
Time is not guaranteed.
For it is borrowed.
And what is borrowed will have to be
  payed back.
Do not lose yourself in a futile search for what 
  isn't there. 
For tomorrow just doesn't exist.
The riches that are storied there are all lies.
Don't you believe one ounce of it.
Live for today.
Today is where you are, it's where you live.
Let tomorrow take care of itself.
You'll get there soon enough.
Then and only then will you be able to 
  embrace it like meeting a long lost friend.
You just need wait.

  1. I've been attempting this for a couple years now. Some days I do better than others. It's hard for me. I think in context. I like context! But for now, I must be in the now. One day at a time...(ugh)

    1. Yeah, I know what you mean. I think I was really talking to myself with this one. One of my greatest struggles in life I think.

I'd love to know what you think of this poem.
